Winners, winners, winners.

Its a great day as our website has won a position in the Archive of the Best Flash Animation site. Four sites were nominated and then the final choice was down to public vote. We competed against web design sites from France, Croatia and The Phillipines. By Wednesday the Croatian site and My Pearl Box had pulled ahead of the others and then in the last 36 hours support for the Croatian site slowed right down whilst ours just carried on as strong as ever. The whole process was very exciting, everyone in the family was constantly checking progress from dawn right through the day to late at night. The final evening was a bit like election night, staying up to see how the voting was changing, and praying that we wouldnt be pipped at the post. We finished 120 hits ahead with 2456 visits, from 95 countries around the world. I am glad it wasnt much more or we would have run out of bandwidth. The final award was for Technical Merit, and one our designer, Ella, fully deserves.
